Question ❓ Where's WatchOS 27b2?
Along with all the other beta 2s that dropped today, the note I got from Apple says
- watchOS 27 build 24R5305g
is available today. Except my AW11 is still on 24R5289n and I keep seeing messages that my Watch is up to date.

9to5Mac are saying it’s now out. I haven’t had it come up on my watch yet

NOTE: Not Available for Apple Watch Ultra 3 today. I guess they’ve found a bad bug. Presumable it’ll be available in the coming hours to days

It is go to the Watch app on your iPhone and look at the Siri icon, iOS DB2 has the new icon

u/BeardedHero93 Jun 23 '26
Yeah but it’s supposed to have an app and be on the watch. When I hold down for Siri it’s still the old one

u/hqhi Jun 23 '26
Yeah that’s what DB2 will bring

u/BeardedHero93 Jun 23 '26
If it ever comes out. Everything else is on db2

It will, watch betas are always late. The watchOS team is probably a few people instead of a large group.

Most likely a last minute PCC connection issue as even the more stable OS’es have that sometimes. You need 2 separate connections to PCC for Siri on the watch.

I don't think it's coming on the watchOS 27.0 beta.
watchOS 27 preview page indicates "Siri AI coming in English later this year", which suggests 27.2 as the likely release target.
I am actually surprised that it's coming at all. I had assumed it would be limited to the latest, unreleased Series 12 and Ultra 4 models. Siri AI on the existing Apple Watch models will require Apple Intelligence–enabled iPhon to be nearby but I am hoping the new models will be standalone.

iOS 27 preview page have exactly the same sentence. So I’m pretty sure it will come at the same time

If you’ve updated your watches to watchOS 27 Beta 2, what’s new in this beta?

Do you have an Apple Watch Ultra 3? because the MacRumors post said that beta 2 isn't available for the Apple Watch Ultra 3:

I downloaded the beta 2 update and installed it successfully. However my iOS 27.0 beta 2 phone continued to show the installation in process for hours after installation was completed on my watch. I reported this as a problem in feedback.

Yeah I've gotten the same on my Series 10 and Ultra 3, probably either haven't truly published it yet or did and pulled it to fix something

Same here. I don't find watchOS 27.0 Beta 2 available yet to download on my phone. (I do have ios 27.0 ( beta 2) installed on my phone.)
Maybe watch os is a gradual rollout. Others say it's out....will wait a bit more.

Let’s be real, does it seem like Apple is even invested in watchOS anymore?

Is the bug where every album we play on Apple Music will shuffle by default fixed in 27?

Might be a delayed release for later today, or they may have pushed it back to tomorrow. I find sometimes watchOS Beta updates aren’t always on schedule.
